HPE 872348-B21 960GB SATA 6G 2.5″ SSD

The HPE 872348-B21 is a 960GB mixed use solid state drive with a SATA 6Gb/s interface, packaged in the 2.5 inch small form factor with an HPE SmartDrive carrier for hot-plug deployment in ProLiant servers. Where read intensive drives are tuned for read-heavy duty, the mixed use endurance class of the 872348-B21 is designed to absorb a much heavier share of writes, making it the right choice for transactional databases, virtualisation clusters, email servers, logging platforms and any tier where data changes constantly through the working day.

The drive uses HPE digitally signed firmware, giving security teams assurance that firmware on the storage layer is authentic and untampered, and it installs in seconds thanks to the tool-free SmartDrive carrier. At 960GB, it hits a versatile capacity point, big enough for serious database and VM workloads, small enough to build cost effective RAID 10 sets where write performance and resilience both matter.

Euroland IT Store stocks the 872348-B21 new and refurbished in the UK. New drives suit greenfield builds and change-controlled production estates, while tested refurbished units offer excellent value for expansions, secondary sites and lab environments, and both are covered by our warranty and pre-dispatch testing. The matching HP spare part number is 872520-001, so break-fix replacements and planned purchases can be aligned under either reference.
